How long has it been since you read a POEM?
Well, at the beginning of spring, when the whole nature is preparing
for its own revival – a special moment of the year, so often
described in verse – the ACADEMIC
RADIO CHOIR offers you a truly
remarkable evening of poetry, beautifully interwoven with music. The
starting point is represented by the greatest poets of the Romanian
Literature, such as Mihai Eminescu,
Vasile Alecsandri, George Coșbuc, Tudor Arghezi, Ștefan O. Iosif
and Lucian Blaga. You will saunter one
Eve on the Hill, you
will close your eyes in Prayer, you will probably already dream of a
May Night,
you will listen to the song of a Baby
Cricket while sitting on the grass and
you will maybe also remember Drowsy
Birds and So
Sweet...

Suggestively named POETRY
in Choral Harmony, the programme
which will take place at the Radio Hall on Wednesday,
19th
March 2014 at 19:00,will offer you the chance to listen to
scores inspired by Romanian poetry – works created by composers
such as Gheorghe Dima, Vasile Popovici,
Marțian Negrea, Paul Constantinescu, Felicia Donceanu and others,
interlaced with poems recited by the
outstanding guest actors IRINA UNGUREANU
and IONUȚ KIVU.

IRINA UNGUREANU has
performed remarkably in a wide range of dramatic parts at notable
theatres in Bucharest: at the Odeon Theatre – The
Marquis de Sade, by Doug Wright,
directed by Beatrice Rancea; at the L.
S. Bulandra Theatre – Twelfth
Night, by W. Shakespeare, directed by
Mihai Constantin and also King Lear,
by W. Shakespeare, directed by Andrei Șerban – but also on
stages outside the capital, such as Fani Tardini Dramatic
Theatre, in Galați - The Story of the Panda Bears Told by a
Saxophonist Who Has a Girlfriend in Frankfurt, by Matei Vișniec
and directed by Andrei Narcis Grosu.

Actor at the Odeon Theatre in Bucharest and
contributor to Radio Romania Culture, Ionuț
Kiwu is appreciated for his performances in Life
is a Dream, after Pedro Calderón de la
Barca, directed by Dragoș Galgoțiu, Epic
of Ghigamesh, directed by Dragoș
Galgoțiu, Señor
Juan’s Last Woman by Leonid
Juhovițki, directed by Vladimir Granov, etc.

Besides the Academic
Radio Choir and the two above mentioned actors, you will also have
the opportunity to acclaim the tenor NICOLAE
SIMONOV, the pianist CARMEN
SĂNDULESCU and the violinist ADRIAN
ILIE.

The concept for the
event and the music administration were carried on by DAN
MIHAI GOIA, the conductor of the
Academic Radio Choir. With the choir
regarded as a gauge by the expert reviews, Dan Mihai Goia, a true
Romanian ambassador abroad, participated in over 200 vocal-symphonic
and a cappella concerts. Many of his works as a conductor and many of
his recordings for the sound archive of the Radio included
achievements of Romanian composers – from the classic repertoire to
the contemporaneous one – but also works from the universal choir
collection.
